Richards v. Strang CA4/3
Alicia Marie Richards and Ryal W. Richards have been embroiled in a long drawn-out and highly acrimonious dissolution action for several years. Alicia has filed multiple unsuccessful appeals in connection with the couple’s divorce judgment and Ryal’s efforts to enforce it. In April 2018, while some of her appeals were pending, Alicia filed a fraud action against Ryal. She later amended the complaint to add Ryal’s mother, Patricia Strang, as well as Ryal’s trial counsel in the dissolution action, Kevin Eugene Robinson. The trial court sustained Ryal’s demurrer to the complaint without leave to amend. We affirmed the judgment dismissing Ryal in Richards v. Richards (May 2, 2022, G059675 [nonpub. opn.] (Richards V.).
This appeal challenges the trial court’s decision to grant Strang’s and Robinson’s special motions to strike (anti-SLAPP motion) (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16).
